Disclaimer: I do not own The Maze Runner, but if I did, I would have made all of the stories from Newt's point of view.

Violet's POV

"Alright, I'll begin" Chuck said. "Alby, truth or dare?" He asked in his naturally cheery voice.

"Dare" Alby responded daringly. (HAH IM SO FUNNY not really)

"Okay.. I dare you to rub dirt on your hands and lick it all off" He said. He may be young but he has a dirty mind. (OMG I'M ON A FREAKING ROLL HAH i kid i kid)

I cringed. That is disgusting. "Pass" Alby said. We all laughed. "Come on Alby." Minho whined.

Alby groaned and rubbed his hand in the dirt. I closed my eyes as he lifted it up to his mouth and began to lick.

Newt faked a choking noise.

Time skip because I can

After a long night of lounging around and watching the guys do disgusting dares and share some of there feelings, I walked off into the deadheads to my hammock.

I layed down on the hammock and closed my eyes.

A song just popped into my head. I don't remember much about my childhood but I remember music was a big part of it.

Grabbing the notebook that the creators sent up with me, I started scribbling down the notes and lyrics.

(Its the song above) "Did my invitations disappear. Why'd I put my heart on every cursive letter. Tell me why the hell no one is here. Tell me what to do to make it all feel better." I sang.

I was unaware of anyone around me. I sang out the lyrics as I wrote down the notes.

I turned the notebook to my lyrics section and started grabbing other lyrics to add to the song.

I've finished quite a collection of songs in the time that I've been here.

I finished the song and turned around. I saw Newt, Alby, and Chuck standing behind me. "Shit" I mumbled under my breath.

"Vi that was..." I cut Alby off. "Horrible I know. I've been told." I finished.

His eyes narrowed. "I was going to say outstanding but okay. We came to let you know there's a gathering tomorrow morning at 7:00 am." I nodded knowing work began at 8:00.

Chuck started smiling and shrieking. "You sing! You sing! And she's really good! Newt you heard her right? Alby she's really good, right?" He started saying excitedly.

Alby just nodded and laughed. "Yeah, Chuck. She's amazing" Newt said winking at me.

"Alright get to bed everyone" Alby said.

The three boys walked off and I layed back.

I hummed the song quietly and feel asleep.

•••

The next morning, I awoke to Newts face hovering above me.

"Time for the gathering, love." He said. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. I grabbed my hairbrush out of my knapsack and brushed out my hair. Then, I pulled on my combat boots and smoothed out my clothes. The creators sent me up with some girl products like makeup, hair spray and hair ties, and well, you know.

I just put on some lip balm and followed Newt into the pit.

We took seats next to each other and Alby walked to the front of the room. Everyone silenced.

"Hello everyone. We are here today at 7 in the morning to discuss Violet. So I'm sure some of you know her but yeah. Violet?" I waved and gave a weak smile.

Alby laughed and then continued. "So I feel its inappropriate that Violet is a medjack when she has obvious skills that we overlooked when she first came up. I say we take a vote on what she should be. All keepers raise your right hand." So they did.

"It will go around the room. I need you to provide us with what you feel Violet should be and why. We'll start with Clint. Clint?" Alby spoke.

"Well, she worked with me since she got here and she was a good worker, but I think she deserves a chance to be a runner." Grunts of approval rang throughout the room.

It went through the room, everyone's answers more or less the same as Clint's answer. Finally, the only people left were Newt, Alby, and Gally. "Gally?"

"She's a GIRL! We've never had a girl before and we sure as hell don't need a girl runner. Forget runner, put her in the kitchens, or even better, a slopper." He spoke. I frowned at his words, but believed them. I was just a girl. What could I do to help these boys?

Alby scribbled something down into his notebook and then nodded at Newt to start. Newt gave me a hesitant glance before saying "Personally, I don't think she should be a runner. It's dangerous out there and I think we can all agree that we don't want her getting hurt."

I sighed and frowned, another vote against me having some sort of freedom. "I think she deserves the chance to be a runner," Alby spoke. All but a few heads nodded in agreement. "So it's settled! Violet, your first day is tomorrow. Minho, take the day off today and show her what she has to do." Alby said.

"Gathering dismissed," He said and everyone dispersed from the room.

I met up with Minho and he began to lead my around the glade. He brought me into the map room and showed me how to make the maps. "Go ahead and look at this map. Tell me when you're ready and I'll put it back, sketch it as best as you can from memory." He explained.

I did as he directed and sketched the map from memory. He compared the two and gave me a thumbs up.

Next up, we went to a basement type of area under the homestead that I had no idea existed. "Grab two knives, a notebook, pen, and a knapsack." Minho instructed.

I grabbed everything he said and we left. He fitted me with a pair of combat boots to run in and told me to rest up. "Tomorrow's a big day," he reminded me. I nodded.

Tomorrow was a big day. It was the first day that I get to help lead the gladers to freedom.

"Good night," I said to Minho.

"Good night," he replied and left to his hammock. I fell asleep to the hope that I would be the one to help get the gladers out.
